Christopher's Testimony

Past time and Future timeLife of hard knock may I sayA church goer, A god believer, A Bible readerA boy scout seeker, Summer camp doerCamping time, Travel time, With my family time

So many stories of my lifeDon't know where to startA rough childhood of mineSo many choices, So much crime when I was kidNever listen to my family, Ran away so many times I didStayed in school so I did,A mother who loved meAnd forgave me for the mistakes I did

So much fighting to survivingSo much crime I did, Crime never paysSo many lessons I learn, So much time I severedTwo and half years for the time of my crimesOne chance to change my life or 7 Yrs of prison timeAt the age of 14 that was

Turned to God who saved me and changed meNo more crime, No more time, So many lessons learnedWhen God gave me a second chance at lifeStayed in high school until I was done, Not good grades I hadBut I graduated anyways, Walked away from my faithBecause I thought I could do it on my own

So many jobs I had, So much money I madeLeft home to live on my ownJoined the caravel made money, good money in the gamesMade many friends, So many drugs I didSo much traveling, So many miles, So much road tripsHard work of five years I did But hooked on drugs I was

So many times I tried to quit, So many rehabs I didFlushed my drugs down toilet, Gave God all my life for goodHe saved and healed me from my drug lifeHe set me free and I let God lead me for eternity2007 was the year I was healed

Moved to a new cityA new city, a new start, So scared I was,Knew no one from the startBut homeless may I say, So much fear in meBut I prayed it lead me the way,Not knowing where to go anyways

Fifty dollars in my pocket, Nowhere to stay it was cold that dayA few pairs of clothes, A tent and a blanket I brought to stayFound a tree where I stayed for 6 weeks of my stay, in my tent I layWithout God, I wouldn't have survivedGot a job, Got on my feet, Not homeless no moreBut no fear I am able to live anywhereBut God is by my side everywhereBecause God blessed me with a new life from all the drugs I did

So here I am a new person in God, Many new changesFreedom for life from all the drugs I didNew friends and family I madeSo many stories I have toldSo many lessons I learned
